OF COURSE NOT … BUT IT’S BEING USED TO RACE-BAIT …
By FITSNEWS || In what has to be the most bizarre race card ever played, the professional left – egged on by their media outlets of choice – has launched a crusade to convince us the deadly Ebola virus is racist.
“In both the United States and Europe, Ebola is increasing racial profiling and reviving imagery of the ‘Dark Continent,'” Robin Wright of the Institute for Peace wrote for CNN this week. “The disease is persistently portrayed as West African, or African, or from countries in a part of the world that is racially black, even though nothing medically differentiates the vulnerability of any race to Ebola.”
Ummmmm … what?
And according to Wright the worse Ebola gets, the bigger the racism associated with it will grow.
“As panic deepens, the danger is that racism — on planes and public transportation, in lines, on streets, in glances — deepens further, too,” Wright continued.
Good God. Is this woman for real? Are we seriously going there?
Last time we checked, the epicenter for the current Ebola outbreak was West Africa. It’s not racist to say that, it’s accurate. And in so saying, no one is assigning blame to West Africans for contracting the disease. Seriously … this isn’t like some middle school stomach virus or lice outbreak where fingers can easily be pointed in the direction of incompetent parents.
Ebola isn’t racist, people … but it is becoming a cause célèbre for race-baiting.
For example in a recent article, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan alleged Ebola was one of the government’s “race targeting weapons.”
“There is a weapon that can be put in a room where there are Black and White people, and it will kill only the Black and spare the White, because it is a genotype weapon that is designed for your genes, for your race, for your kind,” Farrakhan wrote.
“They are creating this as a means of depopulating our planet of undesirables, a process called culling the population,” Farrakhan added. “So, if you are poor and ignorant; if you are Black or Brown, you are being selected for destruction.”
Really? Last time we checked poor blacks – like poor whites – were being targeted for food stamps.
And rich blacks were the ones pushing population control.
All of this is, of course, deliberate provocation – and baseless demonization. And it’s nothing new. For years, we’ve been told that any criticism of the nation’s first black (well, half-black) president Barack Obama is rooted in racism – not the fundamental inefficacy and demonstrable failure of his ideas.
It’s all racial to those who claim a desire to not be judged by race … like the pro-affirmative action hypocrites who demand equality in the form of preferential selection (irrespective of one’s abilities or the “content of one’s character”).
Enough is enough …
Ebola isn’t a government weapon targeting blacks. Nor is it a racial disease. Nor are its American victims being treated differently due to their skin color.
It’s a deadly virus for which there is currently no treatment and no cure … which ought to be the definition of a “we’re all in this together” sort of occurrence.

Is Ebola’s closely related cousin Marburg racists?
Marburg only kills white folks in Europe so it’s anti-racist.
Bush knows that answer.
“Stardate 2099.7 . It’s still Bushes fault. Go back to sleep for another century. LOL
If Ebola is racist, why do whites die from it?
———
maybe it’s colorblind, and doing the best it can.
LMAO…This is like the spread of ISIS, followed by FITS’ – and his minions – incredulity.
You are some of the most ardent perpetrators of this ignorant racial turmoil…then you act stupid when your ignorance manifests.
FITS admitted he bases his perception of race in modern-day America on the movie Mississippi Burning, set in Lord-knows-what ancient era. And FITS characterized anti-cheating Voter Integrity laws as an effort to suppress minorities…
Yet you gone act-a-fool over this…Only FITS’ followers are stupid enough to buy his surprise that leftwing black people think Ebola is racist. That’s how stupid you all are…why are you poking fun at them. They are YOU….and the rest of the Democrat Party, you support and profit from.
Yet you gone act-a-fool…
…up in heyah…up in heya!!

I had been missing Fits weekly “race” post.
So some nobody mouths off this inane comment and its worthy of an article eh?
And the “Usual Suspects” are already gathering.
This should have the highest number of posts for the week.The only think missing is the NAACP.
Fits Doesnt like all this racial stuff you know.
And the “Usual Suspects” are already gathering.
Keyser Soze created Ebola.
Where is Jesse Helms when you need a strong voice in the Senate to straighten us out on this virus?
Let’s arrange a tour of the hot zone in Liberia…perhaps leaders of both parties should do a photo- op to demonstrate how safe the hot zone really is. I propose leaders from the CDC tour (with the Congressional Delegation and our president) the hot zones in Liberia and then explain to the ignorant Americans why travel bans are unnecessary…Perhaps Rev. Jackson can roll up his sleeves, and grab that megaphone and preach to those striking Liberian nurses to get back to work!!

You’re thinking of Mitt Romney.
“And rich blacks were the ones pushing population control.”
I’m confused. This quote from above links to an a fits article about Ezekiel Emanuel’s opinions on ending life at 75. What does this have to do with rich blacks. The Emanuel family is of Jewish eastern European origin.
“I’m confused”
You are posting on FitsNews – you are supposed to be confused.
The moment a person forms a theory, his imagination sees in every object only the traits which favor that theory. ~ Thomas Jefferson
I guess Jefferson formed a theory ’bout rapin’ slaves —and not just imaginary…
And the Democrat Party is still doing it to their descendants.
To be fair, Republicans aren’t doing them any favors either.
The government is not in place to do favors for people based on Special Interests. You sound like you like government to be racist, like you.
Are you like a Black voter and you vote in such a monolithic RACIST fashion, to get hand-outs and freebies, cause you’re claiming to be a victim?
Hold on, cowboy. You look like the only racist here. Funny how you get everything so wrong. I’m a 61 year old middle-class cracker. No wonder nobody takes you seriously…Mr. Speculation.
I used what you SAID to respond, Dumb@$$ …and I’m guessing that’s what you, and so many other idiots get P!$$#D about. You think your age, your military service or who your Daddy was is supposed to shield you from getting called on the Stupid $#!* you say..
If you don’t want your @$$ kicked verbally, for what you say…STFU…
Bottom line: Republicans should not treat Black people special, as you implied. We treat ALL Americans the same, not like your stupid racist @$$ is implying should we do…
Tell Rand Paul that.
Goddamn. Did this nut fall from a tree or the tree just fell?
Must be new Tim. He is for real, last one of his kind – I hope.
Ah, thanks. The special kind no less…the $$@ stuff is killing me.
Get used to it and be glad you’re new, half his/her/it’s post used to be composed of punctuation that no sane person ever uses. He/she/it is down to semi reasonable uses of the non alphabetic characters on the keyboard these days.
^%$^#^# ^&%$ %&*&$& &^%$^%%$% %^%. That about sums it up.
You do realize that SC Political Digest is GrandTango, who is a woman. How’d you like to come home to that everyday?
I’ve come to the conclusion that some people on this site aren’t worth a Reply…whether you’re just screwing with them or not.
You know, I’ve noticed that about you… when the rowdy ones come through, you take up a post near the doorway, in case you need to beat a hasty retreat!
Your replies are every bit as colorful as TBG’s.. with a demeanor that seems to regard the empty buffoon, the eternally angry Jester, the crazed basement dweller… as though something might jump off their message and take up residence in your hair… and your replies – carefully crafted as though to calm an insane inmate, while backing away…
Perhaps it does come off onto one… like the sticky, dried beer on the barroom floor… and the concentrated smoke from dozens of cigarettes penetrating one’s clothes… a virus of sorts, requiring one to metaphorically wash his mental hands after reading.
You said the Farrakhan quote is from “a recent article.” It is apparently from 2007. The link you provided has an introduction that says, “On November 4, 2007…Farrakhan continued his series… The following is the last of several excerpts from that address.”
I agree with you that ebola and race have been conflated, as in the NYT article today, “Ebola victims’s family blames hospital and state.” I’m just asking you to hold yourself to the same fact-checking you would ask of others.
This is the “recent” article from “minister” Farrakhan, he posted it in 2013: http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/National_News_2/article_100855.shtml
He’s senile.
Does senile mean the same thing as “full of shit”?
Where did you get your degree in medicine,and why weren’t you offered tenure at,Harvard?
Weren’t we classmates?
No.
Yes, in this case, apparently. ..
It depends on your feeling for human DNA… as it approaches fetal status at the end of life.
You meant “fecal status” right?
Does it smell in here?
It should, because babies are the shit!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt84J7U75e0
I got it, babies and senile people are both full of shit…
if a white religious con said the same, something tells me you’d be a lot less sympathetic. but you think because he is a minority, he needs YOUR soft approach.
the soft bigotry of low expectations. you are the poster child.
soft, eh?
my little puff balls are nothing compared to your WMD.. is that what you’re saying? We bleeding heart liberals can’t pull the trigger, or sweet Emily will die?
…the cars pass by all stuffed with eyes.. teeth hair and eyeballs all over the con – crete! What a field day for the heat.

” I’m just asking you to hold yourself to the same fact-checking you would ask of others.”
Now that is hilarious!
This type of reporting will continue to grow. The press and and the left will play the race card, especially this close to the election. These people have no shame.
Kind of like all those right wing Republicans on this subject:

The left only has the best interests of America at heart – to dull the sociopathic spear of the right.
Is this comedy hour at the Holier- than- Thou Chapel of Social Justice? ( Where all honor, truth, compassion, and wisdom dwelleth in the party of Gwen Paltrow, Charlie Sheen, and Warren Buffett?)
Nope,it’s the Fits Weekly race post.
Welcome aboard!
We innocent, and pure of heart are horrified by the Republican sociopaths tearing through our society dirtying and defiling everything cherished, running roughshod over our valued institutions, pretending to do it all in the name of God.
The atheist and Christian cohabit in hypocritical symbiosis, together they are the beast, standing in the holy place, as though God’s plan can be achieved through politics at the local strip club and bar.
There’s no question that social responsibility is hated by Republicans, neither is there any question that they have the best interests of the country in mind… They play the country like a football game with guns.
We sons and daughters of the most High, sleep the sleep of angels… while Republicans dream of staring into the eyes of the innocent as they struggle, and finally gasp their last breath in abject fear.
They think it’s funny.
O dear! Have mercy on the politically obsessed and possessed!
why?
Not too bright, Euwe. While what you say is true of POLITICIANS, it is not restricted to one party or the other. Those with power are divided into two camps -those who believe they serve the public, and those who believe the public should serve them. I also take exception to the idea that atheists are cut from finer cloth…. in fact, there is quite a difference between those who believe in a religion, and those who use that religion for personal gain. I believe you’d be better off separating society into two groups -sociopaths and everyone else.

I can think in binary, but I prefer analog. it’s more complicated, but it makes for a better fit with reality without all the jagged edges.
There are three kinds of people – those that count, and those that don’t.

That’s just good old fashioned commentary.
The Republicans have disarmed sarcasm through extraordinary extremism, beyond mocking.
There’s nothing funny about a rabid monkey – his debilitating disease is at once the source of his insanity, and his weapon against being taken lightly.
I could shake off the uneasy feeling that a rabid monkey or two had escaped from the zoo… but seeing them sitting in the chair of a major news network.. behind the bureaucratic desk of federal employ… dressed in DEA uniforms.. at Chipoltle carrying guns!
My equanimity is sorely tested.
I am a student of giants of irreverent intellect, living undetected in the shadows and culverts .. in the neglected edges of the back side of reality. They have conferred upon me the clarity of vision that I display here.
http://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/10/andrew-syrios/the-left-is-viciously-pro-war/
liberals aren’t.
ha! please. liberals LOVE war. war on the economy, war on the taxpayer, war on business owners, war on corporations (that fund most lib enterprises), war on men, war on anyone with more that someone else, war on minorities that aren’t like-minded, war on women that aren’t like-minded, war on any perceived underdog who doesn’t want the meddlers help….I could go on.
religious cons are clowns, statist libs are cancer.
That tired old canard doesn’t hold water. Conservatives have been trying to lay off their vices on the liberals since 1964… yeah, we’re the racists… we’re the warmongers.. . the *real* slave owners.. you sociopathic dimwit mouth breathers think that’s real clever.
Yet, you let the Republicans run the South! Coveralls, pigs, missing teeth… drunk and passed out in front of the tv, stinking like piss… and you have the audacity to pretend to the throne of intelligence?
Sorry, not happening.
OTOH…
We innocent, and pure of heart, are horrified by the statist Democrat sociopaths tearing through our society, our economy, our country, and our religion – dirtying and defiling everything cherished, everything loved, everything of value – running roughshod over our valued institutions, pretending to do it all in the name of anyone with less than someone else.
The atheist and Islamic sympathizer cohabit in hate – in mutual hypocritical symbiosis. (Atheists in general are cut from finer cloth, but those more crude of their number who seek revenge on the innocent for their presumption, to believe in and seek out the fountain of living water). Together they have become the beast, the abomination standing in the holy place.. as though God’s plan can be achieved through political meetings over drinks at the local union hall and bar.
There’s no question that social responsibility is hated by Democrats, neither is there any question that they despise the best interests of the country… They play with patriotism like a football game with guns. They have no problem saddling our children with trillions in debt, and glorifying any such cause for their own advancement. Always in a hurry to spend other people’s money and control anything in people’s lives they can… from their comfortable seats in congress.
We, the real heirs – the sons and daughters of the most High, sleep the sleep of angels, for though we are abused by the unbridled greed and lack of ethics of evil men, our love for fellow and country consoles us… while Democrat scum dream of staring directly into the eyes of the innocent as they struggle, and finally gasp their last breath in abject fear.
They think it’s funny.
—I think it’s funny that I had to change about 9 words to make an equally hysterical comment on the statist Democrat control freak a-holes.
IOW, both parties suck. Grow up and accept it, kid.
Sorry, “I’m rubber and you’re glue” doesn’t absolve you of your affiliation with the scum of the earth – as though you think it’s funny.
You all sound alike to me… unimaginative, insipid, dumb.
I guess you figure if you smirk and guffaw loud enough, no one will notice you’re ignorant and clueless.. .giving your time and money to belong to the “tough guy” club – for nothing in return.
Why Ebola Won’t Spread in the United States
http://news.discovery.com/human/health/why-ebola-wont-spread-in-the-united-states-141009.htm
Maybe the Doctor Ribner should have read this article first: http://www.dallasnews.com/news/local-news/20141012-health-care-worker-at-presbyterian-hospital-in-dallas-tests-positive-for-ebola.ece
One of the Dallas patient’s care givers now has Ebola.
Why you’re not going to get Ebola in the U.S.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2014/08/01/why-youre-not-going-to-get-ebola-in-the-u-s/
And in the article you linked:’A Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital health care worker in Dallas who had “extensive contact” with the first Ebola patient to die in the United States has contracted the disease.’
Extensive contact.Not sure how anyone could believe the disease is spreading by reading that.Living conditions in the U.S. are not hospitable to Ebola..
The gist of your article was that the U.S.health care system has “extensive protocols” that will prevent it from spreading here. By all accounts, the Dallas hospital followed those protocols.
If you want to buy into fear-mongering and paranoid hysteria,I can’t stop you.Ebola is very hard to catch in this country,Social media often does more harm than good,especially when it comes to medicine.
Neither paranoid or hysterical, just cynical.
Ignoring the facts is called,ignorance.
And just 2 weeks ago Barry assured us that Ebola would unlikely make it to America…
He also ” promised” we could keep our doctors and our healthcare plans…
Buying into all of the supposed “facts” in the face of evidence, history and logic is called gullibility.
If hospitals are hotbeds of MRSA because staff – MDs, nurses, everyone – ignore infection control protocols, there’s no reason to believe they will be more diligent with Ebola.
And, I bet lots of people who have made even infrequent trips to an ER have encountered ER doctors like the one who sent Duncan home after his fever spiked to 103 and he knew he was from Liberia.
The US doesn’t have to be inhospitable to Ebola, it just needs to have careless people doing the diagnosis and treatment.
It reminds me of the NRC report a few years on that nuclear power plant in Hartsville. It was like the employees not only did not get that their carelessness could cause the town to explode, they didn’t seem to grasp their carelessness could actually cause them to vaporize.
MRSA is an excellent example of the problems we face.
You can’t argue with sic minds.I never thought I’d see the day when so many Americans are this fucking dumb.Pathetic.
Ebola is my favorite kind of virus. It doesn’t discriminate.

please, oh please don’t write your’s again!
I had such high hopes for you!
So a nurse is fighting for her life after taking care of a patient with Ebola, and you respond with this???? You obviously don’t work in the healthcare field.
I guess you didn’t read the topic subject header.

Oh Bummer.
In plain language from,CDC-http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/pdf/infographic.pdf
How many US troops will catch Ebola? How can we expect 18 and 19 year old soldiers with little medical training to NOT contract EBOLA when already well – trained doctors and experienced nurses wearing modern Hazmat suits have acquired the virus? How many US military hospitals will be shut down once infected troops return from the hot zone? If US troops refuse duty or desert in the hot zone in Liberia, will they be afforded conscientious objector status and treated like a hero, like Sgt. Bergdhal? How many readers of this blog would volunteer to pull Liberian duty in the hot zone (in light of the fact that the current Hazmat suits do not apparently protect one from Ebola)?
They were NOT hazmat suits. Simply personal protective measures which did NOT provide protection from inhalants or aerosolized materials. They were following protocol for direct contact only. The biohazard version of Joe Biden’s self-defense advice.
The usual horseshit that FITS – the MASTER of race baiting – throws out to rile up and please the usual yahoos on here.
” . . . . which ought to be the definition of a “we’re all in this together” sort of occurrence.”
Yet you’re doing everything you can to stir up the racists just to increase your clicks.
Maybe you ought to just stick with headlining all of your articles about the black mayor of Columbia with “Mayorhood” and including your rendition of “black people speak” in just about any article that you post on black folks.
Your white privilege is showing.
How many patients at Dallas Presbyterian now have Ebola because a nurse caught it?
zero
yet
I’m sure the golfer in chief…who misses about half of his intelligence briefings…is still too busy raising campaign cash at $32,000/plate Hollywood parties to care…
If you want to know how this will turn out tune to CBS and watch CSI.
It is much bigger than simple racism. King Obummer, our terrorist-in-chief wants the US reduced to a third world country like he grew up in. With the open borders and now a third world disease turned loose on America , he is accomplishing his goal.
I’m pretty sure we should blame Ebola on the GOTP’s cuts to funding, the fact that Rick Perry is the governor of Texas, that the guy was treated at a Christian hospital (they probably tried to pray the ebola away), that the hospital was a greedy for-profit hospital, that Texas didn’t expand Medicaid, and the fact that Republicans are racists too. That’s why the disease isn’t spreading at the hospital in Spain.
“GOTP”
Excellent!
There have actually been rumors for almost 30 years that it affects blacks disproportionately. Look at the case fatality rate between blacks and whites hospitalized in western hospitals. Not that it’s an engineered weapon, that wasn’t possible at the time that ebola and marburg first emerged.

Its not okay for white countries to close there doors to non-whites but its okay for non-whites to do so. Why? Because the multi cult is anti-white!
